Let's Talk West Berkshire

Information | Advice | Support

The Community Outreach Service aims to empower individuals and communities by providing early support locally. The Community Hub aims to meet everyone's needs, whether that's helping with benefits, housing advice, form filling, signposting, referrals, or technology help.

Officers from West Berkshire Council and local organisations will be available at local venues, serving as one-stop shops for support and information.

Solutions4Health will also be at a number of our sessions to provide NHS Health Checks for people aged 30-74 who live or work in West Berkshire. These checks include height and weight measurements, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar testing, and tailored lifestyle advice. For those not eligible for the full check, they offer a General Health Assessment to help you stay on top of your wellbeing.
 

The Public Protection Partnership delivers Environmental Health, Trading Standards and Licensing Services on behalf of two authorities, Bracknell Forest Council and West Berkshire Council. These services encompass a wide range of areas of responsibility from environmental protection to fair trading, food safety to animal health and housing standards to taxi licensing and much more.
